Should have been "historical *and* contemporary". 

Verbose: Russian dialects of Western Siberia which are, as far as I
know, mostly extinct, and the dialect of the Pomors which I understand
is still preserved in some remote places of Arkhangelsk region and
maybe neighbouring provinces in North-Western Russia.
